Family (Skit)

Lyrics

They did not tell us that all of that being my own person and my being independent
 Would lead to separation, loneliness, celibacy, and lesbianism
 They didn't tell us that if you give up the man, you're gonna take one of these things
 It gets worse and would destroy your nation
 They made us think it was some kind of glorified position
 To brag about the fact that I got my own job, my own credit card, my own car, so I don't need no man
 I don't even know how we got that mixed up
 Ain't none of that got anything to do with having being with no man
 We have some serious relationship problems, you know
 Over 60% of our women are single, widowed, separated, or divorced
 They don't have a man
 They need fathers, they need protection
 To raise a child, you need a parental coalition of a man and a woman
 We have sons, by not having have a father in the home, they don't know how to respect women
 They may bring the welfare system in and tell us in order to feed, and clothe, and house our children
 We have to give up our man, we have to put the man out of the house
 When the white farmwife goes to the government for subsidy for the farm
 They don't tell them to get rid of the farm and they keep that family together
 But in the black community they make it a requirement
 Because they want to keep endorsing into the black community that the black man is no good
